Im in the process of planning a new brew rig and I have a few electrical questions. Im not sure if theyve been asked before but I did do a search.
I want to be able to plug a power cord into the rig and then distribute the power to 3 items.
1. 2000w water heater element for a 10g cooler HLT
2. wort pump
3. water pump (for chiller)
Id like to have each one on a switch and I would manually operate each item.
Do I need to have all those fancy switches, SSR, heatsinks, ect? Or could I get away with household outlets (GFI) and indoor switches in a plastic junction box?
